Opinion: Why Craig Conover Might Have a God Complex

   

Craig Conover has gone from lovable mess to Southern Charm power player — but is the fame going to his head?

Let’s face it: Craig’s glow-up has been undeniable. From law school drop-out to successful entrepreneur, he’s flipped the script and built a brand that Bravo fans can’t ignore. He’s got the business (hello, Sewing Down South), the girl (or at least had Paige DeSorbo), and a level of confidence that borders on, well… divine.

Lately, however, fans are noticing a shift. Craig’s demeanor has become more commanding, his tone more dismissive, and his presence in group scenes? Dominating. Whether he’s lecturing castmates or brushing off accountability, there’s an energy that feels less “charming Southern gentleman” and more “I’m always right, you’re always wrong.”

Some might call it growth. Others might call it a god complex.

From cutting down Austen’s love life to brushing off criticism from Paige, Craig seems less interested in listening and more focused on being seen as the smartest guy in the room. It’s not arrogance in the traditional sense — it’s the quiet, smug kind that comes from someone who finally believes their own hype.

The question is: Has Craig evolved… or has he elevated himself too far?

Don’t get us wrong — fans still love Craig. But the very charm that made him relatable might be fading under the weight of his own ego. He’s not just playing king of the Bravo castle — he may believe he built it.

Only time (and the next reunion) will tell.
